From the Teacher: I teach students that need extra help with reading and writing. I like to make my classes fun and relaxed. We go through a lot of supplies in my classroom and I try to buy whatever my students need. Our school has a very large low socioeconomic status. I have had students who have told me that their family could not afford something that I was requiring in my classroom. I do try to have as many of whatever I need my students to have available to them but it is hard.

Wish List:

If I can choose anything I would wish for blue or black pens (100) pencils (100).

10 boxes of colored pencils

looses leaf paper 25 packs

Most importantly I need about 75 1" binders so that my students can make a portfolio of their own work throughout the year in order to see their progress over the course of the year.

I also use a lot of tissues and hand-sanitizer in my classroom.
